Great to meet you!

I offer my skills to anyone ready to engage in their best self-care, and appropriate time for therapy in one’s pursuit of healing, restorative emotional health, and joy. The therapeutic journey can hasten one’s emotional insight, and help claim life’s best qualities more purposefully.

My approach to therapy

I believe the therapeutic process is about rediscovery. The “true self” that remains a constant in each of us, has been shrouded in pain and trauma. Yet, it has never receded, nor lost its energy and intention. It can emerge to overcome the negative variances that hinder our mind and heart; and, our capacity for emotional stasis and joy can return.

What you can expect from me

My approach is one of compassion towards the person(s) I work with, as many are confused, fraught with fear, and/or experienced calamitous emotional injury and pain. The goal is tapping into one's "essential core", and finding the strength and confidence to be your own healer.
